This is a useful reminder that most investing success is about temperament, not cleverness. The sitting and waiting part is rarely glamorous, but it seems to do most of the work!

I wasn’t on this earth 20 years ago, but I still think I can help some people put their money to work, give me a read and let me know if you agree, if not what can I change, be honest.

I recently got pulled into researching the lost decades or roughest periods in stock market history. I found the math behind dollar cost averaging to be super reassuring whether you believe a crash is coming or not. Thanks for sharing!

This is a solid reminder that investing is less about clever moves and more about temperament and time, Darius. The idea that scared money keeps you stuck really stands out. How did you personally decide what portion of your money stopped being “scared” and became long-term capital you could truly leave alone?

Thanks, Destiny. The portion of money that you won’t miss. The money you don’t need for the next few years. That’s the money you can invest without fear.
